Kongsberg Maritime has been ed to supply its BWM system for a series of eight advanced 120k dwt product tankers presently under construction at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in Mokpo, South Korea for the Norwegian ship owner KGJS. Delivery of these sophisticated solutions is from May 2009 through 2010.
The BWM system is designed to monitor wear down of bearings in large two stroke diesel engines. It provides an early warning in the form of an alarm should any of the three crank-train bearings (crosshead, crank and main bearings) get unexpected wear problems during operation and thereby enable the crew to carry out preventative maintenance, avoid unscheduled maintenance, reduce off-hire and ultimately cost.
The system may be delivered standalone or integrated into Kongsberg Maritime
